30Bots Update!

Thirty Bots LogoOK, so it’s been a while. I’ve been distracted and also, since Microsoft released Windows Live Messenger they’ve changed the whole handshake procedure which was a pain up the arse :( However, they did do something right & get some companies to release API’s written in a variety of languages to make creating a bots a hell of a lot easier. Further more, they’re encouraging people to write bots! With a $40,000 prize fund for the best! Luckily for me, my 30Bots handler is all done and dusted and needed hardly any work to port it over to one of these API’s! However, I still don’t have a permanent host for the bot, but my computer will do for now. If you bare with me while I tidy up the signing up procedure (found a small bug yday) I will release it’s address and you’ll be ready to use 30bots with your 30 boxes account!
UPDATE: It’s all up and running, except for adding new events (small problem with the Java API I’m using). So feel free to add the address thirtybots@hotmail.com to your contact list. If you find any bugs or want give feedback, do so within the IM window by typing either bug or feedback and then your comment.

Still To Do:

  • Reminders via the conversation window
  • Display and accept date according to users setting in 30boxes
  • Anything else that comes to mind or I recieve via feedback
